>>Hey all,
>>I just introduced my male and female Antaresia maculosa (spotted python) together, and they've locked up at least once.
>>I was thinking of using medium grade vermiculite or perlite as an incubation substrate. What does everyone here who breeds use?
>>I'd especially like to hear from those of you who breed pythons in the genus Antaresia.
>>Thanks!

I personally like long fiber spaghnum moss. I put it in the nest boxes and then I just transfer it for the incubator. Not dusty ground stuff but rather the fluffy stuff. I tried the vermic and perlite and didn't like the way it stuck to everything. I also found it easier to regulate water and dampness with the moss.
